- Well, I was right about the resolution of the "fiscal cliff". I just didn't expect the dog and pony show in the House to go a few hours past the deadline.
- Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin's coverage of NYE on CNN is pretty funny and pretty shocking. His giggle makes me laugh.
- Went back and watched and old Twilight Zone episode of William Shatner playing a recovering mental patient on an airplane: Terror At 20,000 Feet. Verdict: Still fantastic.
- I got blocked by Brian Cuban (Mark's brother) over the weekend on Twitter. I had only followed him for two days and he was making the most inane and boring tweets. I simply responded when he fired off some Texas Supreme Court "news" that was four months old. I think that guy is a spare (I heard him on the radio once and was stunned at how shallow he seemed.)
- Had my "education dream" again last night. Missed classes. Couldn't find my schedule. Realizing I flunked two classes last semester because I quit going after one week. It is so bizarre that it is a recurring dream because I'm not sure I ever cut a single class at college or law school.
- Had a crazy two-fer on New Year's Day: A guy smashes into a stopped patrol car (I think we set a record for that last year) then when a firetruck shows up to provide warning/protection someone smashes into it.
- Saw on the news last night that "Soul 73" had been sold and had switched to a Korean format. I had never heard of the station before. But I'm more amazed at the Korean change.
- I got to experiment with an X-Box with the Kinect "control the screen with your body" device over the holidays. Amazing.
- The dog sneezed yesterday morning beside the bed and the groggy Mrs. LL said, "Bless you."
- Mrs. LL and I are experimenting with a stew. She does all the work and I do a lot of suggesting. Good stuff.
- Sports: (1) Someone said RG3 could never be a drop back passer. Sheesh. He's a drop back passer that just happens to be able to run the option-read flawlessly, (2) The Mavericks are horrible, and Dirk can't do much to help, (3) Baylor's sling-it-around offense had the weirdest stat over UCLA: Baylor had 80 offensive plays and ran the ball on 63 or them, (4) Oklahoma will beat the Aggies on Friday, and (5) Someone said in the comments a couple of days ago that my "Cowboys prediction" was wrong. Huh? What one?
- I've had no interest in the Lord Of The Rings or The Hobbit.
- And what's up with all the long movies these days? Lincoln. Django Unchained. This Is 40.

Who expected the Republican leadership to act like Democrats? Apparently the deal includes $1 in spending cuts for every $41 in increased taxes. (Spending "cuts" which will never, ever, see the light of day.) That's gotta be good for America, right?
Come to Old Denton and 191 in Carrollton sometime and tell me you are surprised the station went to Korean. It will be Korea-allton in 10 years.
I was right about the resoulution on the fiscal cliff. Obammy cuts his vacation short, rams his tax increases down our throats, and goes back on vacation.
9:00 am is right. Not surprising at all. Watch out for the kimchi. That crap is terrible.
I never said RG3 could not be a "drop back passer". I said that without his masterful ability in the read option, being a straight drop back passer would be much more difficult. F'ng read what I write and don't jump to mf'ng conclusions because you think I dissed your boy.
The explanation is simple. He garners so much respect from pass rushers to stay at home, keeps linebackers from getting into their pass drops, and stalls the safeties from getting over the top, so you have wide receivers that are routinely more wide open. His action in the read option is like the best play action on every down. You have to respect it. This is why Washington is the best rushing team in the league and why they can get away with only throwing the ball 15-20 times a game. If their defense sucked and RG3 had to wheel it 30+ times a game to stay in it, you would clearly see this.
My first point was that you would see a much less effective QB if all they did was allow RG3 to be a pocket passer. He doesn't have the accuracy or delivery to fit balls into tiny windows like a Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers. The read option allows him to do what he does.
My second point was simply that athletic quarterbacks who run the ball a lot in the NFL get physically punished. You can't do it well into your 30's. A shot at a championship will be much better for him early in his career than later.
I'm not a fan of the President, but to say he "rams his tax increases down our throats" demonstrates a general lack of knowledge on your part on how the government works. Sure he can sign them into law, but at the end of the day it is the Republican and Democrat members of the House and Senate that have sealed your fate.
We seem to forget that you remove abortion and gun control from the table and the two aforementioned groups agree on approximately 85% of this issues.
I would also be willing to wager that you will see a shift from the Republicans in the House on gun control given their recent actions. The government has nothing to fear.. ahem, I mean we will all be safer once the masses are unarmed.
Anderson Cooper's giggle makes real men puke.
Brett Favre ran around well into his 40s
Oh, and your first point fails to take into the account that a rookie quarterback may develop and get better over time
You may also need to consider a good antidepressent to help deal with your Rage issues
wait, is that you?
I guess I need to work more. Millions of illegals, and non-working politicians are depending on it.
How could Mark Cuban's brother have turned out to be shallow?
Hmm... Amazing. Mark Cuban is such a brilliant, multi-dimensional fellow, after all.
It makes you laugh because your a Fag
RTG: thanks for the backyard cuties, love that one on the left! good job BG!
9:20...Brett Farve made the occasional run when he knew defenses were in man coverage and blitzing linebackers. This meant that he could sneak out of the pocket and get a quick 15 with a comfortable slide. He wasn't taking shots 10-15 times a game on designed runs or option plays.
The guy probably threw more quick slants and outs in his career than anyone in the history of ever. Yes, Favre did lower his head some and take shots, but that was more about him buying his own BS and playing to the crowd.
It is just not the same kind of pounding on your body, plus when RG3 loses a step, the read option will not be as effective. Spare me on him being hurt and what he still did to the Cowboys...any high school coach could tell your that was a flawed scheme by Ryan. Watch how Seattle defends it....they will bottle up the middle (Morris) and force everything to the edge. There ends and linebackers will take on everything with their inside shoulder and string it to the sidelines. They will also mix in weakside blitzes. RG3 and Morris will have some success on cutback runs and short passes over the middle.
RG3 can and will get better, but his ability to be a pure passer at an elite level, just will not happen. He will win games, maybe even a few playoff games but he will never be what everyone is already making him out to be.
No Rage here I can assure you, just a guy that was misquoted by the blog author.
America is changing.
Racist, homophobic, misogynistic old white men will never decide another presidential election. Of course they will continue to rule Wise County.
Two items: You have stolen my dreams about college. Used to have it more frequently so old age may help you.
Watch the rookie QBs this weekend then tell me whether Griffin, Luck or Wilson is best. I'll vote right now for Wilson.
RTG's look about 15. I'm not offended but I bet there are some folks who are. And I wonder if you're not skating at the edge of thin ice, legally speaking.
Hitlary Clinton is suffering from blinding headaches, problems with her vision, memory and terrifying blackouts. In an ironic twist, I suffer from the same things when I see a picture of her.
10:20 I may be racist and homophobic, but I can assure you I don't miss gymnastics one darn bit. They should remove it from the Olympics if you ask me.
10:20, I would applaud your comment if only the people that will decide future presidential elections were any better. Look to blacks and hipanics for your daily dose of racism, misogyny and homophobia in the future.
why are you following someone you think is a spare, and who posts inane and boring tweets?
I have already given you my potentially award-winning idea for dealing with drunk drivers. Put flashing lights on dummy vehicles on the side of the road. Apparently, the lights draw in the drunks like moths to a flame. Oh, you could make the vehicle out of some semi-shock absorbing material, but this will work. Just forward the accolades (and money) when they start rolling in
I concur on the LOTR and Hobbit movies. I sat thru that first one, and the whole time I kept thinking what's-his-name the lead character just had a look the entire time like he was constipated or trying to do fractions in his head.
And it's just overkill with a wizard, elves, fairies, hobbits, monsters. It couldn't be any nerdier if they were all wielding slide rules
My recurring dream involves being at work, which I hate dreaming about. It's usually at some menial job I could do in my sleep (ironic, huh?)
Bob: I just had the strangest dream. I dreamt that I was married to a beautiful blonde and we owned an inn that was going to be turned into a golf club.
Emily: That's it, no more shrimp before bed
10:20 - You may be right! Just look at how good the Dallas city and county government and ISD are doing since we just started choosing leadership based strictly on race!
I will bet Hillary Clinton will "just disappear' from public view and not have to ever testify about Benghazi...just sayin...
140 the trial lawyers love her, enough to always keep her bulletproof, she is slicker than slick..legally speaking, so to speak. HRC is the key reason everything is made in C..she sits at the table with the Captains & the Kings, they make all the rules for the world to live by and they invented money...get it yet?
WK:
Who said this bill addressed spending cuts? If my memory serves me right this episode will be the third time Republicans have passed up a opportunity to cut expenses in a Grand Bargain....one offering an 8 to 1 ratio.
On top of that this same crew recently voted a defense bill that was 1.7 billion more than the generals wanted.
They aren't interested in cutting expenses only hammering the other guy's base.
most people don't know that HRC was legal council on Walmart Board of Directors for many years, hand picked by Sam Walton himself, fresh out of law school and married to Arkansas AG..aka slick....you know all the rest right??
and it's all so obviously corrupt, in your face, blatant flat out FU, we will spent $10 million on vacation while the world suffers if we want to, and raises for all, and happy new year suckers!!!
237 - No one in Washington is interested in actually reducing spending or reducing the deficit. Whatever happens, the debt will remain practically untouched. Therefore, any tax increases are cosmetic only, done for political purposes only. Their only real effect will be to reduce activities that will be taxed, very likely slowing down the economy even more. Spending cuts were supposed to happen -- the so-called "fiscal cliff" -- but instead of allowing that, Congress voted to raise taxes. This bill does not address spending cuts because Republican leadership caved to the Democrats and their insatiable desire to raise taxes.
Please document your meaning regarding a "Grand Bargain" and "an 8 to 1 ratio."
Someone has a Baylor hard-on for RG3
stay tuned "Fiscal Cliff II" already underway
Y'all have it wrong let Obammy stay on vacation that way he can't F--k up anything else. Keep the big arm chip with him..
Wordturd,Please document I think you're a boring political wannabe that never will be so let it be.
if any of you think O is in charge, guess what he never has been..he was always destined to be PUTUS, because he is owned and controlled by THEM..O is a buffoon and a liar all at the same time, nothing would surprise me at this point...control need chaos.
414 - What are you talking about? Do you even know?
10:37,
10:20 here. That was funny! Hats off to a great sense of humor! You can reply to my comments anytime.
So what is up with your server? I could not connect for half the day to this website.
BG-keep on e permitting with the stew. My family loves stew & it's somewhat good for you with all the veggies. We had a relative staying with us for awhile due to him working in the area. I think he thought we couldn't afford real meals, but we just like stew & it's easy. Just brown & drain meat, put in all your veggies, a little salt & peppe, set crockpot on low & you have a delicious dinner when you get home from work. We use a can of Rotel in ours.
